About 100 Firefighters Battle Greater-Alarm Beverly Crest House Fire

Limited access at a home under construction is slowing a cautious attack.

Overview

  • Los Angeles crews are fighting a house fire in Beverly Crest on Tuesday after reports from the 300 block of Delfern Drive.
  • The Los Angeles Fire Department declared a greater alarm, which adds more engine and truck companies for a larger push.
  • Firefighters have stayed outside because ongoing construction blocks safe entry and increases collapse risks.
  • At least one chimney partially fell during the response, and officials said no injuries have been reported.
  • LAFD asked LAPD, the city water and power utility, the transportation department, and the gas company to shut hazards and control traffic.
